Pretty sure though I cannot say that I am 100% sure that influence is not a factor at all.Originally Posted by Ironside
I would say that if your king has between 0 and 2 stars, all your new general will have 0 stars irrespective of your influence. Remember a few games when my idiot king stayed in the capital with 0-stars while his army smashed everything, influence with very high but no general with any stars (except historical heroes of course)
If your king has more than two, my experience is that you have a good chance (but you do not always get lucky) to see your new elite units come up with a one or two stars general. Perhaps the odds gets better if your influence is high ? Would make sense since it would be similar to what happens with heir ...
You're most probably very right. Now that you mention it, my guess would be that the same would be true with command since I have never seen a general (except historical heroes of course) with more than four stars appear out of nowhere (even during the few happy campaigns when I had in nine stars king with max influence)Originally Posted by Ironside
